What is NOT a requirement in order to obtain a Family Child Care License?

To obtain a Family Child Care License, there are specific requirements that need to be met to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in care. One of these requirements is not having a minimum square footage for the home. The focus is more on the safety, security, and suitability of the home environment rather than its size.

This means that it is possible to operate a licensed Family Child Care Home in a smaller residence, as long as it meets the necessary safety standards and can accommodate the children in a comfortable and secure manner. Other requirements, such as having TB clearance, completing 16 hours of preventative health and safety training, and holding a current CPR certification, are all vital for ensuring the caregiver is prepared to maintain a safe environment and respond appropriately in emergencies. These requirements are focused on health, safety, and preparedness to protect the children in care.
